First time we tried it I had heard lighter fluid, not starting fluid. So, I squirt a bunch of lighter fluid in the tire and light it off. Let me tell you, lighter fluid has zero flash when it ignites. Just set my damn tire on fire.

I have tried this before with some very deformed tires. They weren't even big boggers or anything.
No one else in the shop was willing to do it. The beads were about 3 inches apart from each other. This trick did not work for me, and I used just about as much starting fluid as this guy. It was pretty close though.
We ended up using one of those cheater air tank things, in combination with the air jets on the tire machine.

I have never seen someone use that much tire jumper before....I just blast once around , leave a trail off the sidewall .light it .......and add air as soon as I can ( also a great way to trim your beard )
